Why is my Vivoactive HR adding steps when I am riding in car?

My watch usually doesn't add extra steps when I am in the car, but it added 5,000 extra steps one day. Do I need to turn off the gps? Not sure why it only adds extra steps sometimes.
  • Vibration really. Potholes will do it.

    Garmin's algorithm minimizes false steps compared to, say, a Fitbit but there's a limit.
  • Its annoying - riding a car and moving hand Just gives me extra steps witch is so frustrating, specially when you compare data to iphone read outs in health app. I usually do 3k steps but with vivoactive i'm always doing 5k. 

    When there will be update of software to vivoactive?
